Chloe Wright

Co-founder of the Wright Family Foundation

Above all, our patron Chloe Wright is a humanitarian driven by profound care for the welfare of others.

As the youngest of nine children in a close-knit family, Chloe learned the value of sharing and working as a team. And she believes the values you learn in childhood stay with you forever.

Chloe counts herself fortunate to have been born in a time when children created their own entertainment — outside play and inside reading. She has always been an avid reader and believes that reading, coupled with a vivid imagination, encourages the creative instinct to grow.

Twenty-three years ago, Chloe and husband Wayne founded Best-Start Early Learning, providing early childhood education. In setting this up, they wanted to give young children the best opportunity to understand the joy of shared problem-solving and healthy social interaction. Now multiple centres nurture 20,000 children each year, preparing them for a lifetime of creating the best outcomes for themselves and society.

Chloe and Wayne later founded the Wright Family Foundation. The Foundation is a philanthropic organisation that aims to extend the care they started with their early learning centres across all ages.
